Hello, I am asking this question on behalf of my cousin who just got a PR visa and has to visit Canada before November in order to get his PR status. Since, his PPR (passport request) came on such a short notice, he can't just leave his job right now and settle in Canada. Instead he plans to...

Hi Canworker, I don't know if it varies from VO (visa office) to VO. My application was transferred from Buffalo to NY and they said that they can only stamp the visa in this visa office. So either you wife has to come to Canada to get her visa stamped or to the US (for which the NY VO told me...

Now I am a bit confused! ??? Let me understand your situation first. Your husband is in Canada and applied for PR (under CEC) correct? Then he got married in India, came back to Canada and then filed papers to add you to his (already in process) application (at one of the VOs US). He did his...

Yes, there's got to be something wrong with that. I recommend sending a case-specific inquiry about your BF Date to your VO as well as to the VO where your husband applied. Also, I am assuming he applied under CEC category.

Hi, It certainly does speed up the process if you send medicals in advance as well as the RPRF (Right of PR Fee). However, I recommend doing your medicals if you haven't heard back from your VO for quite some time and any email inquiries (if the email was sent 90 days past your application...

Hi gagzcanada, That's very strange... Our file was transferred from Buffalo (where all the CEC applicants have to apply) to New York (a local visa office) and not islamabad. I believe all the CEC applications are to be processed inside north america (but don't take my word for it, please...

Hi, My PR visa got stamped a couple of days ago. However, I'd already applied for a renewal of my work permit. I am wondering what should I do with that application. Do I need to cancel it myself, or would it automatically be cancelled. Please let me know Thanks

Even if the person bringing the passport is carrying an authority letter from the passport holder ? Would the authorities seize the passport even then?

Thanks guys for your responses. But the big issue is that it is illegal to mail passport in/out of pakistan ..... I says on the passport :( So even courier companies can't do much!! That's why I have asked my visa office to let me know my options. If you guys know for sure that canadain...

@Pouce, Hey, thanks man..honestly it was such a huge relief when I saw the email stating the final instructions for processing of my application. I was excited for about 4 hours... felt all of this was unreal, until reality hit... that it is not legal to courier passport to/from Pakistan :(...

Hi PMM, I may be able to ask someone we know (or rather our very close family friends know) who can bring the passport from Pakistan to Canada. However, I am wondering what kind of authorization would they need and/or if it is permissible to carry passport into canada this way ? We are...

Hi PMM, Thanks for the reply. But it is illegal to courier pakistani passport to/from Pakistan. Nor do I know of anyone who's coming from Pakistan who can bring my wife's passport along with them. I have already sent an email regarding this to my Visa Office in New York, so let's see what they...

Hi all, Finally, I received PPR today for myself and my wife. I live in Canada (on an implied worker status... so can't leave Canada) but my wife lives in Pakistan and I've read mixed comments about how to courier passport from Pakistan to Canada. Some say that if you explain the situation to...
